If you really dont want Cuomo, then the next candidate who can beat him should be your choice. Or you might end up with Cuomo just because you didn't want a woman presi... I mean Mamdani as Mayor.
Why would anyone vote for Mamdani? How would he be more qualified than Comptroller, Brad Lander? Lander is the CFO for the largest city in the country. Mamdani is a low level Assembly man. Laughable to think he can handle the job. #Lander for the win!!
If your values include not supporting Mamdani, there's a significant chance that your values also include bigotry. Just a massive correlation I've seen. 🤷🏽♂️
Right but if you don’t rank Cuomo or Mamdani and it comes down to those two then you’ve basically abstained from voting. I put Mamdani 5th, but he’s got to be somewhere in the mix.
To me it conveys that I am finished with 'the lesser of evils' candidates being imposed on us by an outdated party system. It screams out that I want better options and you can no longer assume you will get my vote simply by being not as bad as the other option(s), or by being the only option.
So, the way I read your response is if my choices are someone who was part of defrauding consumers and say, someone credibly suspected of turning a blind eye to the abuse of teenage boys, I'm still supposed to pick one or the other. Nope. That's not going to happen.
If I send you a survey with a yes/no question and you don't respond to it, that just means you didn't respond to it. I have no other information to use to understand your motivation and thus cannot change anything I'm doing based on it.

Vote morally.
Vote with the thought of helping the least fortunate person you know.
Corruption fosters corruption, so if you've got someone who has no problem devaluing one set of people, they're willing to devalue another set.
As the center squeezed candidates they actually have the best shot at beating Cuomo if they can make it to the final round.
That's all I am saying.
now what?
if it's Mamdani and Cuomo, which is very likely, whom do you choose?
